[Life after being in a band]

I am glad you are able to start doing some of the activities you missed with your family and friends.

I've enjoyed your blog because I have never played in a band and probably never will at my age and talent level.

It gives me the insight of being in one through your eyes. I am glad your mates realize that You were the glue that held it together.

Good luck enjoying life and checking out new gear.

[In the which I leave the band]

Good to hear from you Mark.  I think Covid has slowed us all down.

I'm sorry and not sorry for you're leaving the band. 

There is no better reason than to spend more time with your family.  I've followed your blog and it certainly was a wild roller

coaster ride. Good time to get out.

I've never played in a band so I enjoyed your stories on band life. I never got good enough to play in one or had the desire I guess.

I play to relax and if I can hit a right note every now and again I'm happy.

Cheers

[Band politics and other nonsense]

I applaud you for keeping your cool and letting it settle down.

Thanks for sharing your band adventures. I have never played in

one and it's fun to hear your experience.

You would look good with this one on stage!

[it never rains....]

Thoughts and prayers for your friend. Both of you are great friends to be there for Peter's wife. As you said she will need it.

I am sure the band will come together and can't wait for some video or audio. Good luck Mark.

[it's going well....]

I think 99% of the people are there for a good time and want to listen to live music and are not there to judge. I know I'm that way.

I love live music. Most of it's good. We are all human and not perfect.

Sounds like you are having a lot of fun with this and that's what it's all about.

Enjoying your blog and can't wait for the set list.

[Pointy bits of down sizing.]

Great picture! Catches the mood perfectly.

I have been contemplating down sizing recently also.

I definitely have a GAS problem. It's fun.

Enjoying your thread.

[It's only rock and roll but I like it...]

Off to a great start. Loving the song list so far.

I can relate to you having one of those days. Just seems like it

happens every once in awhile that connect between the brain and

fingers is just not there.

 

Keep that set list coming and good luck with the name. Don't think too

hard on it. Sometimes it just happens.

[some one with a bit of potential....]

I always enjoy reading your blogs.

Looks like Dave will fit in with all of you, personality wise on first look. Time will tell, as with any endeavor.

I've never played in a band and probably never will at my age. It's a great thing to see how this all works with forming and maintaining a band.

Keep the blog going.
